Hello,
I’m a Game Designer, but above all an enthusiast of logical systems who studies videogame mechanics to imagine new ones.My focus has always been game design, and my experience in QA and Production strengthened my attention to detail and helped me understand the importance of these fields firsthand. I also genuinely enjoy Programming since learning it at university.On a personal note, I’m an approachable, calm person who enjoys a good coffee and a good conversation, or simply listening to how my friends’ day went.

As the trumpets sound their clarion call, the Noble Knight sets forth from the castle gates, his quest for honor and glory is awaiting beyond the horizon...

QA Engineer at Fermat
February 2023 - December 2024

"By sovereign order, shall every flaw within our realm be catalogued. Henceforth, all daylight hours shall be spent in pursuit of our software's hidden foes."Lo, I have forged documents in the fiery embrace of Linear, therein laying suggestions for the user's path and depictions of fearsome bugs.By my decree, I have conjured automation in testing, wielding Selenium, Pupeteer and Excel as my instruments.Yet, as fate’s wheel did turn, mine path was sundered from this noble fellowship. With deepest gratitude I bow to the stalwart kin of Fermat, whose wisdom and camaraderie tempered my craft. Thus, when the summons from the realm of gaming arose, I took my leave in reverence, to stride forth upon the quest of mine ambitions.

QA for ANTRO at Gatera Studio
May 2023 - July 2025

Thenceforth, my journey intersected with the esteemed souls at Gatera Studio, who bestowed upon me the honor to help in their noble quest.Upon each moon, I received the game's iterations, dedicating myself to their examination and offering guidance, thus aiding their craft.Each detected imperfection was meticulously logged into Notion, conforming to the sacred guidelines.As the kingdom awaited the imminent release of the enchanted game, I got summoned to the grand hall and graced with a commendation scroll from the noble CEO, a token of recognition for our steadfast service.

At long last, the enchanted game was loosed upon the world, to the joy of eager souls far and wide. In that same season, the valiant house of Gatera unfurled new banners, founding Gatera Media, a realm devoted to wondrous ventures in VR and AR. There was I granted a steadfast post, to continue my service in their noble cause, and to tread further upon the path of mine own destiny.

Designer & Producer at Gatera Media
October 2024 - November 2025

Thus was I entrusted with new charges within the noble halls of Gatera Media.As Producer, I bore the charge of the Roadmap, ensuring our fellowship marched in step and to the appointed Day. There I elevated the sacred Notion through cunning automations, aided by the arcane craft of Make.Matters of administration were also mine, with scrolls of account and invoices inscribed in the Holded grimoire.Another quest was the stewardship of coin and planning for the afterwork gathering, Digital Meld, wherein I did labor upon administration and budgeting, that the feast might flourish.Yet the heart of mine endeavor lay in design. My first charge was to balance the rounds of Neon Targets, a wondrous VR field where enchanted dianas awaited. There, a legend was born, for the record I set hath yet to be surpassed.Most noble of all, I was anointed Lead Designer of The Chairman, a grand strategy game for the realm of mobiles. To me was entrusted both its design and its production, steering vision and planning with steadfast hand. This endeavor, still veiled from the public eye, remaineth my proudest charge. Beyond these quests, I lent aid in other ventures too, wielding my craft in QA to fortify our creations.Sadly, our fellowship at Gatera Media was at last compelled to cease its labors, and the halls grew still. Yet before the final light dimmed, I was summoned once more and granted a last scroll of commendation, a closing honor that I bear with pride as that chapter of my story came to its end.

During his travels, the Noble Knight chanced upon two individuals who would soon become his closest allies in the ardent pursuit of glory.The first was a charming Bard of the Court, the Mistress of the Painted World, whose majestic craft in weaving art from naught could sway the hearts of the people with ease.
She was known as María.The second was a wise Wizard, the Herald of Thunder, who could conjure the most mighty and efficient programs, transforming any mechanic into reality with a mere flick of his wrist.
He went by the name of Sergi.They then forged an alliance, their interests entwined, with the desire to establish a company of gamecraft whose name would be renowned throughout the ages. Yet desires alone are not to be awaited; thus, these valiant souls set forth upon a most intriguing path, ready to bring their vision to life.

Fortunate was I to count with the aid of the Bard and the Wizard.Upon the hour of implementing the levels, I found myself in an endless cycle of iteration, striving to discover perfect sense and balance.As part of my ongoing quest, I was also charged with aiding the Wizard in conjuring his intricate spells to bring the game's code to life.
